Hi Baby Girl

I read the words on the screen, "Call me if you can." My heart starts to beat faster and a smile spreads across my face. I touch your name on the screen, I hear the automated long distance message, I know, that in mere seconds you will answer and through the wonder of modern technology, we will be connected. Though only seconds pass, it seems a million thoughts go through my brain. Memories of our lovemaking from the night before, the sound of your voice, the words you say, they fly around in my head, making me dizzy. The ringing stops. My heart seems to stop with it. I wait, unknowingly holding my breath, and then I hear you. "Hi babygirl" you say in that sexy Texas accent. Your voice fills my entire being, sending a jolt of electricity through my veins. My body reacts of its own accord. My mind is now focused only on the sounds floating into my being. The rest of the world has disappeared.
